THE
SYNOPSIS
Our wars, failures and victories speak of who we are, but we are also the ones who decide to what extent we want this to define us. Our path is a summary of scars that attest that the fight happened, that it belongs to us as part of our history.
“Our scars make us know that our past was real”
- Jane Austen
The new scar arrives and moves between the emotional walls that we build to isolate ourselves from the outside, those that we define to enter and exit them; a space in echoes of reality, with anguish for breathing, of unmeasured euphoria and memories of grief.
“Isolation is a way to know ourselves”
- Franz Kafka
The cure begins when we concentrate on what is essential to review the restlessness, the fear, the battle and the defeat, the joy and the disappointment, and give the wound the value that we want it to have, place it in our summary, and move on.
How do you want to face yourself?
How do you want to interpret your own scars?
How do you want to face yourself?
In Summary of Memories and Scars, internal dialogues in Tap Dance, Electronic Music and Motion Graphics offer a vision and a space for introspection and reflection of our own traumas, to walk through its phases and extreme states, to rethink the question we ask ourselves day by day: “What prevents me from moving forward?”

THE CRITICS
PERFECT COMBINATION OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND TAP DANCE
Today we attended a show taken care of down to the last detail which has allowed me to let go and introduce myself without any effort in the world of visual and acoustic sensations that it offered me. When the presentation, the music and the interpretation are impeccable, they transport you to indescribable emotions. It is difficult to speak separately of everything I have seen because the whole is magnificent. [...]

ALL SENSATIONS
[...] It is a show where the public has to let themselves be carried away by the sensations and emotions that every detail provokes, losing themselves in the rhythms and expressiveness of the interlocutors on stage. Emotion, pure sensation.

BY GREAT SENSITIVITY
[...] Overall, one of the best shows I've ever had the opportunity to attend. Tap Dance and dance, musician, projections and soundtrack of great quality... Everything provided an environment that materialized what is a "Summary of Memories and Scars". [...]

We inhabit spaces and people, and at the same time we belong to solitude. We walk crowds in isolation, we resonate with our environment without paying attention to the fact that we walk similar paths. Our daily life becomes an unconscious manipulation that dilutes our humanity and empathy, and we walk patterns that do not belong to us in order to continue breathing in unison. Inhabit inhabited.

Interaction: influence and mutual affluence between two or more people.
We live in a constant wheel that leads us to communicate even without knowing how depending on what situations. Dialogues, disruptive communication, agreements and disagreements, opinions, monologues, always in constant motion. “What actions are there in the interactions?”
Based on an old piece of company repertoire called Colibria, it premieres in January 2022 after a residency with 28 dancers at the Tap in Rio festival in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
